Heroes of the mountains

Mountain Heroes: Portraits of Adventure by Dr Huw Lewis-Jones
celebrates the climbers, skiers, ecologists and artists (among others) who
have been inspired by the world's greatest peaks.

In this portrait, rock climber and businessman Yvon Chouinard can be seen
sorting his equipment before a climb. Chouinard set up the outdoor clothing
and equipment company Patagonia in 1972, and is credited with several
important advances in climbing technology.
